"Please can you make it snow just a little more? It's one of my favorite things in the whole world...when it falls like in the best Christmas movies. Do you know what movies are? Probably not, huh? Well can you make it snow gently with a ton of snowflakes?" Sam whispered to the large knotted pine beside her in such a hopeful tone that it nearly cracked my heart in two. "The wind is uncooperative today." The tree told me with lingering sadness in his creaking tone, sharing in my wish to make Sam happy even though neither of us understood what was so important about her request. I whispered to him for a time, asking his permission and with it granted I lay quiet and still to wait. After a few moments of concentration, Jen finally interrupted with a small clearing of her throat. "Whatchya doing?"

"Asking the tree for snow, Bryn says the forest folk talk too just not the same way we do." Sam answered, "Now shhhh! I'm trying to concentrate on what he's saying." I was pleased to hear she had taken my comment seriously and then immediately surprised when Jen chuckled and approached rather than shaking her head as she often did when such topics came around. "Well tree, I think you'll have to help my sister understand that the snow comes from the sky and not trees." From my perch I saw Sam open her mouth to return the playful teasing, for that's all it really was, and before she could get a word out I kicked one of the branches which sent a cascade of snow down on Jen with a freezing plop!

She gasped sharply and sweet little Sam fell into the pillowy snow laughing like she was going to burst. Jen tried to look angry but the intensity of her laughter proved too much to contain. Instead she started packing a snowball that had Sam running and the chase was on. I bounced carefully on each branch as I leapt tree to tree, a few feet ahead of them always. The snow rained down just as Sam asked and I knew right then as I saw Jen's eyes sparkle with the reflection of thousands of flakes like tiny stars in their own infinate galaxy, laughter echoing around the forest, what was so special about snow.

Thirteenth Day of Writemas

Thank you @agirlandherquill for the tag! I chose 'A Vehicle' as my prompt.

"And this is is for steering, here you try." I made a less than dignified sound as Sam scooped me up under my front legs and pressed my paws into the grooves on the wheel before letting me balance on my own. I cautiously pressed one paw down to rotate the wheel. "Yes! Just like that, whoaaaa!" Sam's body jolted to the side. "Not so hard Bryn, you gotta use little movements." My tail flicked as I thought over the instructions, but the pressures of learning to drive overcame me and I pushed too hard on the opposite side which again jolted my passenger about. My ears pressed to my head and I let out an apologetic sigh. "This is harder than it looks." Sam patted me comfortingly. "It's okay, you'll get it, here let's try it at a slower speed." Her feet worked the pedals I couldn't reach and then nodded to me with a grin. "Try now." I pushed the wheel almost tenderly to the side and she cheered. "Great! Now we merge onto the freeway." "WHAT!?" I shrieked in protest, but Sam had already pushed the pedal to the floor and I wanted to live so in an absolute panic I began to steer us forward. My movements were jerky and Sam was jostled to and fro and then because I fear the universe has a special hatred for me, a wheel went flying off. "Call the mechanic!" Sam cried out, slowing us to a stop. Jennifer came running in with a glue gun and another circular piece of cardboard and after inspecting the damage for a good few minutes, gave us an estimate. "Good news is that it is fixable, bad news is you'll need to open an account with us, sign up for our credit card, give us your social security number, and sign over the rights to your first house before I can start work on it." Then little Sam said something that Jennifer never thought she'd hear from her ten year old sister. "Well shit."

Writing Question Time

So I'm getting ready to add the next handful of chapters in Nowhere to Nowhere and I wanted to tie in some threads from previous chapters (and have an excuse to show off all the cool names of the fae in the wild without as much exposition). I was thinking of having a key unlock a Treasure Planet-esque object that knows some things about the world that Bryn might not as the narrator.

Ideally the key and/or the object itself are things a 10 year old could easily access or run across by chance outside.

What Is The Key?

A literal key

A toy like a marble or figurine

A household object like a drawer handle/knob

Other (in the tags)
